The main point why Russians vote for Russians is not "nationality" or other crap (well, there are some freaks in our community who vote only for Russians but I'm sure any other community like French has those types too), the reason is our value system differs from yours a bit. What we think is a good vid you may think as "wtf?", and vise versa. The only way to neglect that is not to be competitive communities, but friends instead. The more we integrate the less differences will remain, you'll learn from us and we'll learn from you. And maybe on next VCA our votes will be identical. That's it.P.S.: If you don't understand something on Akross or AMVnews — just post on the forum there in English, and we will definitely help you.

Wow dude, this is awesome, and definitely something I would like to see more of.

As a matter of fact, I have found many Russian AMVs to be spectacular and I found them courtesy of the VCAs as well as them being uploaded to AMVnews. I think because the communities have been separate people sometimes develop some strange idea that we should be combative and hostile. If we could somehow get the communities to combine just a little bit, perhaps by participating in some common events, this idea might disappear and people would realize the two communities aren't that different after all. You guys seem to like some of the stuff I've made just as I like some of the stuff I would not have seen if it weren't for AMVnews.ru.

tl;dr

I agree with aggressor. I think you people arguing about BAWWW! RUSSIANS are dumb. I also think we should just go hang out with each other more, perhaps over some fine vodka.
